Quotes to ponder:

"Are we settling if we find ourselves in a relationship with someone that tries their best to tend to our emotional needs, or are we just being too picky?"

"If you demand a lot from others, you need to start focusing on patience and compassion for others’ complicated journeys."

"You are subconsciously expecting others to provide you with something they are incapable of giving you fully."
